Dodgers entering shortstop market
Rafael Furcal will have a disc in his lower back partially removed and will miss at least eight more weeks, putting him on track for a possible return in last August. What all of this means, of course, is that Ned Colletti basically has to find another everyday shortstop, and don't think the other GMs around the league don't know that. That means they will have all the leverage in any trade talks with the Dodgers, which probably means the club has to give up at least one of its valued prospects.

beltre at 3rd, nomar/maza platoon at short,kent at 2nd ,loney at first... cheaper option- jack wilson at short / nomar back to 3rd..whatever the case might be maza ,lu and berroa are automatic outs, and dewitt is starting to come back down to earth. We cannot expect to win the division with those guys at the mid/bottom of the order.

How about trading for Sabathia and Jhonny Peralta? The Dodgers are loaded with prospects and talent, the Indians are going nowhere this year.

We are on 2-3 year plan. Please DO NOT trade our young talent. This season is pretty close to be a wash anyway. There is a kid in our system that will be ready if Furcal isn't next season anyway.....

If the Pirates wouldn't trade Jack Wilson for Jair Jurgens last year, I'm figuring you'll have to give up a little more than you're willing to get him

SoFLaBoy, dunno if I agree with you. Hu did terrible in the majors this year, and Ivan De Jesus is still 21 and in double A Jacksonville. I don't what to see our young talent go either, especially cuz most of them aren't prospects, they're everyday major leaguers. But unless Hu or De Jesus have a huge improvement then SS will be a major hole this season and next.

Cheer up Dodger fans. If they can float around the .500 mark, it should be good enough to win the worst division in baseball.

Exactly - that division is wide open with the leader only playing .500..

They should trade Ivan De Jesus to Toronto for Burnett, Eckstein and a plus prospect, that will fill the hole at SS and give them another starter
